My inspirational tidbit for the day

It's very cheesy, but I found this quote the other day and fell in love with it! :) thought I would share it with you guys! :)

Sick of being sick!

Wow it is 2013! That's crazy! And to bring in the new year I partied pretty crazy. With my couch and some tissues and only until 10:30. That's right I'm sick. But not just me. The entire Morris house is sick. We are like one giant Germ Bomb over here! So instead of getting to party on New Years with all my teenage friends. The closest I came to a party was the JaNEWary marathon on Disney Channel. So That was my New Years Eve. But my whole family has been sick for a week now! It is really taking its toll on us. This is the worst I have ever been sick. Not to mention the longest. And its only the flu. Realy?!?! But before I got sick I was having a pretty great break!I got to hang out with my friends and I went to a stake dance, and Me, Madi, and Erica had a sleepover! When our brains get together we think of things that only the minds of 3 teenage girls could come up with. So we wanted to go sledding-no sleds, and no hill. so maybe we could fourwheel in the snow? no fourwheeler. So our conclusion was Mattress sledding! So what we did was tie a tow cable around a foam mattress and tie to the back of my cousins car and she drives around in the junior high parking lot. It was so much fun, until you hit the patch of fresh powder and get sprayed in the face. At first it was kinda cold but the longer it sprayed you, the more it burned! Then you get two 15 and 16 year old teenage girls on a foam mattress behind a car and you've got a great equation. The mattress kept ripping, so we kept having to retie it together. By the end all we had was some foam pieces and some thread holing it together! But it was a memorable experience. Then to top the night off we went back to my cousins house and all played Minecraft for 3 hours after that. It was a successful sleepover until I woke sick as a dog the next morning. :(So I have been camped out on my couch in the basement with a box of tissues and a Humidifier for the past week. I never thought I would say that I am actually happy to be going back to school. I feel so people deprived. Just want to close this post with HAPPY 2013!!!!! Don't forget to work on your new year resolution ;)

Only Christmas can bring that big of a grin!

Christmas morning! The day that every little boy and girl in the world look forward to! :) they dream of the decorated trees and brightly colored wrapped presents! In my family apparently it is harder to actually get to the dreaming part!

My sister would not go to sleep last night! And She was not going to be the only one! She kept me up with her! She would get out of bed every 5 minutes and look out at the tree just to make sure she didn't miss the presents! And then when she was in bed she would move around 800 times and switch positions and rustle the covers! It was not a silent night!!

Then it didn't help my parents decided to bring the presents downstairs at 11:30 P.m. Because my sister is still awake and then she hears that! So then she went out and stared at the tree for like 15 minutes! Haha and then she tried to get me to go see it! So then i didn't actually et to fall asleep till an hour later!

Then this morning she woke us all up at 5:30 a.m. I have never seen a child so excited! So we opened presents and the only thing my sis asked for was the new iPod touch. So we are going thru presents and we are getting down to the last few and she still hasn't gotten it, so you could tell she was getting a little disappointed. So we get to the fourth to last box and she opens it and it was the iPod! She was so happy! She was bouncing up and down and she immediately opened it!! Then after that she checked out for the rest of the opening of presents! :) haha

I got exactly what I wanted! :) I got a lot of clothes! And I was so exstatic! That was all I asked for! So I tried them all on after and everything fit perfectly! :) and that never happens! I was so happy! :) this Christmas has been great!

So every year we have a tradition with my dads family is that we have a day where we bake and decorate sugar cookies all day and we call it cookie day! :) I look forward to it every year! And that was also one of the highlights this Christmas!

On Sunday night, the 23rd; was the Rogers family Christmas party (My moms side of the family)! We had dinner and did the talent show! Me and my sister sang and then I showed our "good time" music video! And our whole family made a music video! Then me and my cousins decided to video each other do random raps! And that turned out pretty interesting! :)

On Christmas Eve, we went to the Morris family party (my dads side of the family)! We ate dinner and then played some games! We played the WAH game! Haha and that was just a party! Then we played the game where you write something to do with Christmas and put it on your forehead and try to guess what you are! That was fun too! Then we also made a music video and we did it to gangnam style! That was the highlight of the night! That brought everyone together! And we sang Christmas songs as a family and it was just a great Christmas Eve! Then after everyone was helping each other load the cars and scrape the ice off the windows! I felt so connected to my family! :)

I think one of the best things this Christmas season that happened was that it snowed!! It didn't snow last year. And that was something I wanted so bad; was a white Christmas! :) I am so happy to be so blessed and to be surrounded with friends and family in this wonderful time if the year! I am always happiest in the holiday season, and only Christmas can bring that big of a grin! :)

Life doesn't come with an instruction guide

Growing up is hard! High school is rough. There are cliques and groups and you have to find somewhere to fit in. You have bars to raise and standards to live up to! It's no walk in the park. You have to balance friends and boys, and school, homework and extra curriculars! It's not easy!

I went to my first date dance in Saturday!! It was a girls choice dance, so the girls had to plan it, and pay, and pick up, etc. I'm not gonna lie, it was stressful to plan! Haha you have to figure out the day date, and the dinner, and where your getting your pictures taken, and the schedule, and your group! It was hard!! Haha! But totally worth it in the end!! It turned out way fun! Our group was awesome! And we had a blast!

For the day date we made gingerbread houses! And then we are dinner at Chilis! And went to the dance! Then had hot chocolate after! It was awesome! :) I asked Jace Ercanbrack! It was awesome!

I am so excited for Christmas break! :) my cousins are coming home from college, and we are going to party!! :) and make some rockin awesome music videos! :) and I am going to hang out with my friends! I am hoping that I can go snowboarding with one of my besties Taylor! :)

I just want to say that even tho life may be hard and sometimes feel unbearable, just remember that something good will come of it and it is only temporary. Try to focus on the good things in life. During this holiday season try to think outside yourself and reach out to others. And remember that everyone makes mistakes because life doesn't come with an instruction guide! :)

I just want to give a special shoutout to my best friend willow! I love her! And she needs to know how much she has impacted my life! I think she is beautiful! And amazing! And I love her! I love you willow!

P.s. Taylor I love you! :) <3

The roads are rough

So today I had my driving test. I am officially qualified to be a license driver! I just have to wait until the 6-month date of my permit. But I passed!!! Haha I was so nervous!!

But last week so many things were happening and it was just a disaster week. Nothing seemed be going good, and everything was stressful. It was just not an enjoyable week. It was rough. And I was thinking about it on my road test, as I was driving up and down the roads. There were bumps and potholes and hills and turns. And that is just like life. It's a road, and it can take you anywhere. And the journey can be rough sometimes, with traffic, and weather conditions, and twists and bumps in your road. Or it can be smooth sailing, with the cruise control on. It all just depends in the right or left turn you choose to take at the stop light.

Make the right decisions, even if they are the hard decisions. Take the road less traveled. And remember the roads are rough.

Making memories!! So hard!!

Thanksgiving break had been a blast!! I spent thee entire time having sleepovers with my cousins and making music vids!! :) it was awesome!! I went Black Friday shopping for the first time! It was great! Haha I was so hyper, and I am pretty sure it was because I drank 2 dr. Peppers before and the adrenaline of being up past 1 a.m. :) haha! But I have never been so happy to lay down in a bed!! Then the next day we slept in till 1 in the afternoon! That just felt so great! Then we made music videos like mad men!! They turned out so great!! :) haha so I will post em here! So in the spirit of thanksgiving I want to say I am so thankful for my cousins! And family and friends! They make my life amazing and very colorful! :) they are awesome! And I love my followers! :) happy late thanksgiving! :) now let's get in the spirit of Christmas, shall we? ;)

I have waited my entire life

I have waited my entire life to be 16!!! :) and it is finally here! I can't believe that I am actually sixteen! It's unbelievable! I had thee absolute best birthday ever! :) I got to have the party of my dreams, and I was surrounded with wonderful friends and family! :) who could ask for more! :)

So my party went great! I had a dance party and invited about 100 of my friends! :) My parents and I went the full 9 yards on this party! We had the full DJ sound system and light bar (so kindly borrowed to us by my uncle), we had a candy bar decked out with a popcorn machine, and decorations that were so bright and neon that the gym looked like it had been transform end :) it was everything I had dreamed if since I was 8!!

Thank you to everyone who came and helped me with the party!! :) you made my birthday so special! :) I love you all!:)

Oh ya, I have my first date tomorrow!! :) For the date we are going up to temple square and going to see a concert and have hot chocolate after!! I'm so excited!! Wish me luck! :)

Making the best of a situation

So this week has been probably one of the hardest weeks of my life. For multiple reasons. Just a lot of stuff happened that no person should need to go thru. So on Friday I finally stood up for myself.

I said no! I simply said that I am stronger than her, and she doesn't determine who I am. I am so lucky I had my best friend willow. Because she helped me so much! I could not have gotten thru this week without her! So anyways on Friday night I turned a bad situation into a fantastic surprise and I asked one of my best friends to preference! :)

He answered me tonight! Haha so he bought me a fish and said "out of all the fish in the sea I'm so ecstatic you chose me. I'm not going to make you guess my answer is a solid yes!" He is such a sweetheart! We are going to have a blast! :)

But I just want to express how grateful I am for my best friend willow! Willow I love you, and if your reading this I could never have asked for a better best friend! You are always there for me, and I will always be there for you! :) love you willow!

Friends are always there

Meet my best friend. Her name is Willow. She is so unique! She is so herself. :) We have the greatest time together and we never stop laughing! :) haha We always find something super fun to do together. Like just the other day we made neon tutu's! then we had a dance party for two in my room. We blasted music and just danced. We met in 7th grade P.E. and have always been best friends. She is amazing. She isn't afraid to stand out and do her own thing. I look up to her so much. She is so happy and always fun to be around. I love you willow! <3

Meet a few of my other best friends. Wesley and Jace. These two are soo fun! They know every single thing that gows on in my life, and they are always there for me. They are really some of the best friends you could ever ask for! :) I love em. From 7th grade they have always been right by side. They are hilarious, and crazy, and outrageous at times! But they all have their soft side. Whenever we hang out we always have the best time. I love them!

This kid. This kid is awesome! He always knows when I need someone to lean on. And he is always there to be that person that I can lean on. He is one of the funnest, most fun-loving, happiest kids ever! :) I absolutely love him! We laugh hysterically together and we always have the best time! We talk about the most random stuff, and we cause trouble together! ;) haha don't worry we never do anything illegal. :) haha He is one of my best friends and always will be! Love ya taylor. :)

Meet the best friends that I have grown up with my whole life. They are related to me by blood! and they are more than friends they are family. They will always be there for me. We have the most memories, and they are the most unforgettable memories. We always have the best time together and they always make me so much happier. We all have our up's and down's, but at the end of the day We are family, cousins, best friends. I love them with all my heart <3

Now i want you to meet my best friends for life. They are are my family. They truly have always been there for me, even when I necessarily don' want them there. They are hilarious, and they are sweet and very supportive. We support each other in everything that we do. We laugh together, and we cry together. We spend literally all of our time together. They are my family, and I wouldn't trade them for anything. I love my family with all my heart. <3 Those are just a few of my best friends. I am surrounded with such wonderful people in my life. I am so blessed. I need to take the time each day to count my blessings. I love everyone in my life. You are forever in my heart :) I love you all! <3

Carpe Diem

On the last day of school before fall break, Me and my best friend Willow were heading to 4th period. We were almost kind of dreading another hour and a half before we would be out of school for UEA. The class was seminary, which is the only reason we did go. :) haha but just to give you a little background on me and Willow's seminary class; There is about maybe 5 sophmores in that class, and then the rest is all juniors and seniors. That class is always quiet and we never talk. Usually when you have a seminary class you are supposed to bond and be a family. You should be comfortable with your class. But this class just isn't comfortable with each other yet. So Me and Willow show up to seminary, and surprisingly there is a substitute. His name was Mr. Rapp. He greeted us at the door and learned our names at heart as we walked in. Me and willow grabbed our scriptures and took our seats. Once class started Mr. Rapp started taking roll. He asked each of us two questions as he called our names. We spent the entire class period laughing and getting to know each other. It was the class period that we needed. I felt so comfortable. As Mr. Rapp broke down barriers between the classmates of our Seminary class, we all started to open up to each other. Then He let us start to ask him questions. One of the girls in the class raised her hand and asked "how did you get wrapped into this?" The whole class laughed and Mr. Rapp asked "is that a punn?" we all giggled including Mr. Rapp. We spent an hour getting to know everyone in the class. We didn't have a lesson that day. But sometimes those are the class periods that we get the most out of. We learn from each other. Mr. Rapp closed the day by saying "Think about it, two hours ago we didn't know each other. But now after an hour and 15 minutes I know each and every one of you guys, and I will never forget you." He then made one more joke. He said "Carpe Diem. Live everyday so that tomorrow you have no regrets. Carpe Diem, Seize the Day. The old YOLO. you never know what will come upon you in your life, but take it head on and stand strong." Having Mr. Rapp come into our little class of silent, awkward, high school students was exactly what our class needed to break down barriers that were put up from day one. That day in seminary we had two of the students that never show up come to class, and one of the kids in that class that usually doesn't participate and just comes and sits with his head on his desk and his earphones in, he actually started talking to us. Having that substitute some to class that day was in a way a miracle. An answer to our prayers. It was a great way to end the weekend. Carpe Diem everybody.

This crazy little thing called life

This crazy little thing called life. It's filled with up's and down's and all arounds. Full of love and lies. Heartbreak and pure joy. Its got the craziest emotions all wrapped into something that the human race calls life. My life however, I would say is different than everybody elses life. I have a different family. Different friends. Different problems. Different trials. Different thoughts. No one is the same. My life is full of friends and family and cousins. My life without my cousins would be tottally dull. I have lived with them by my side my entire life. I was raised with them being my best friends. Every time we hang out we do something tottally outrageous and spontaneous, and we never do the same thing more than once. For instance one tme we decided that we wanted to make a music video. So we made a music video! It was one of the funnest nights of my life. We drove around springville finding the most random places to film and dance. The next time we hung out we did a photoshoot. And we took pictures on super random things that we could find down main street. Then we had this brilliant idea to take the giant cylinder traffic cones and get inside of them and walk around on the side of the road. Now keep in mind that it is 11:30 at night and we are climbing into traffic cones and walking around in them. There is no one out on the street so we were safe, and we weren't damaging any property. All we were doing was taking some freakin legit photos in some traffic cones. So we're goofing around and then tottally randomly a cop truck drives up and turns on his lights and pulls over. Can you imagine being a cop and driving around at 11:30 at night and finding 3 girls on the side of the road each with traffic cones over their heads. The cop started questioning us and asking us random questions. So apparently it is illegal to move traffic cones and get in them... But you know, we have a pretty good darn memory now. Then tonight we decided to just take a drive and we would think of something to do on the way. So we went to walmart and bought Arizona's and some French bread. I know super random. :) but it was yummy!! So then we went to my high school and started taking some pics; and my cousin found this super random stool just sitting on the grass. So we took it. Then we driving around the road and we found this little tubular traffic cone. So you know being us we took that too. haha then my friend just randomly sent me his address ;) haha jk I asked for it so then me and my cousins went over to his house. So first we doorbell ditched his house. He was home alone with two friends, so it was perfect. So they come walking outside yelling "that's not very nice you guys". So then once they were back inside, we went back to the garage door and left the stool. But them being the little bums they are, didn't go get it. So then we took the cone and put it on the front porch. And long story short they still don't know that is was me and my cousins. and we still have the traffic cone. My cousins mean the world to me. I have grown up with them since we were all in diapers, to nw when we all have our drivers liscenses. Friends come and go, but cousins will always be there. Always. Enjoy your cousins and your family. Because before you know it, your going to be all grown up and going off to college. Don't ever live a day living with regret from yesterday. Life is precious so live it. At times it seems that walls of our life are caving in on us, but in those moments is when you need to be the strongest. I promise that you can make it throught your trials. And that sounds super cleashae. But It's true. Enjoy this crazy little thing called life.

If you love something and you let it go, your stupid!!

Wow it's been a while since I've done a new post, so here it goes. The second semester has started and guess where I am on the second day? I am at home, in bed, SICK!!!!! I never knew how much I loved being healthy, until it left me :P. So I am going to pretty much sum up the past few months in a few short sentences :) (HAHAHA YA RIGHT!!! More like a few short paragraphs)


Let's start with my friends. They are AMAZING!! My friends are what keep me alive (jk not really, but they support me alot) they are there to share their opinion and have a great time with. K so me and 3 of my best friends, Wesley, Matt, & Sarah; went to wendys one night after riding the fourwheeler. So Wesley and Matt suddenly decided to put barbecue sauce below their nose and make themselves some handle bar mustaches. Then they would stand on some chairs and say some just random, stupid, comedic sayings that came to them off the top of their heads. Me and Sarah and my parents could not stop laughing!! And the whole restaurant was watching them too, and they were all laughing!! I will never forget that night because that is a night that we all had fun together just being the goofy, silly, little small minded eigth graders!!

Ok let's move onto Cheer!! In case you didn't know I cheer for the Utah Twisters All Stars. I love everyone in there. They have Grown apart of me, I love them like family. We have so much fun with each other all the time. Even during conditioning we are trying to smile and not let the pain bring us down. Unfortunately I have not been to cheer in 2 weeks because I am still sick. I am so scared though because I have to learn 3 new dances and 2 new stunts. UGH :P. But our first competition is on Saturday. I hope I can feel better for it :)

School :P. Why have it it is so pointless. The only thing it's good for is socializing and lunch. Well anyways my favorite class in school right now would probably be my art class. I love art so much it's so fun to go to that class all the time. It's fun too, cuz 2 of my best friends are in that class, Wesley & Brandon. It's fun and I am excited to see how that class turns out.

My weekly moto was going to be a cheesy line that I quoted from a famous disney channel show "wizards of waverly place" It was "If you love something let it go, if it doesnt come back it was never yours in the first place." I posted that quote on facebook. Then my awesome aunt commented "If you love something and let it go, then your stupid". I thought about this and realized that is so true. Why on earth would you want to let something go that you love, it just doesnt make sense. Then I thought who ever made that saying up, must have had a pretty depressing life. So now my weekly moto is........ "If you love something and you let it go, your stupid!!"

SuMmEr!!!!!!!!

I hope everyone is having an amazing summer. I know I am. I went to st. george for girls camp and it was amazing. My mom was in charge so it was fun to have her there. All the girls were in the same tent so we got to all be together. The first day we went repelling. The second day we went Boating, and we went to see the muscular Tarzan performing at the Tuacahn. The third day we went to the St. George Temple. It was amazing, you could feel the spirit so strongly. The fourth day we had to pack up and leave the campground.

Me and one of my other BFF's (her name is kelsi). We are going to go see Twilight saga: Eclipse. I am so excited, we are going to see the midnight showing. We also went shopping, we found the best t-shirts for the movie. That day we went to 13 stores in 4 hours. here's a list of all of the stores: House of Denim
Down east outfitters
Allyses Bridal (for like 3 minutes)
Target
Justice
Old Navy
Dollar Tree
Kohl's
Ross
Rue 21
Walmart
Petsmart
Payless shoesource
Oh ya we had a good time. We didn't buy anything but we sure had a good time taking crazy pics, trying on dresses, and having a great time as bff's.

For the rest of the summer I plan on going boating, finishing summer band; and performing my concert, hanging with my besties, and just enjoying summer.

SpRiNg BrEaK!!!!!!!

Hey everybody hope you all had a great spring break!! I know that I did. I went to St. George and tropic. Then for the Rest of the week we just SLEPT IN (that's a big Plus), hung out with friends, and did homework (OK that one is NOT a plus).

In St. George/Tropic we went four wheeling and hiking. Swimming (thanks Deb) and I won Tripoli the first time that I played. We did a lot of driving in the car. We also drove through Zions National Park. We went through the really long tunnel that they have in the middle. We had our four wheeler trailer, and they had to shut down the tunnel just so that we could fit through the tunnel. ha ha ha it was so funny. When we came out of the other side everyone glared at us like they were so upset that we had to go through the tunnel. ha ha ha it was funny.

When we came home from St. George we just chilled for the rest of the week. I also went to see the movie The Last Song twice. I love that show so much. I had a Great Spring Break. I really really really do NOT want to go back to school, but Everybody has to ha ha ha. <3

Happy Halloween!!!!

On Halloween day I went to this thing called the trunk or treat. I only went to help out my mom. I didn't have anything better to do so I passed out candy instead of get candy. BORING, I know. Then I went to Los' Hermonos for dinner with my mom and dad, but not my sis because she actually had someone to go trick or treating with. I stayed up till 11:30 playing mariokart on my Nintendo DS. Weeeeeeee, not. I finally was going to bed when sugarbaby, my cat, came down and snuggled with me then I heard screaming upstairs. What could possibly be going on at 11:45 at night.

Not knowing I went upstairs to find a living mouse in front of the staircase. I screamed so loud, and jumped over it and hopped on a chair like my mom and sister were doing. Stupid sugarbaby, She had brought the mouse in so proud of herself and dropped it in the house and went downstairs. I went to get my cat sugarbaby to get the mouse she had brought in, and what do you know she is scared of it and runs back downstairs. So we had to use the little kitten to get the mouse.

Once she got the mouse she did not want to let that thing go. We had to pry her away from that thing to get it back outside. Once we had the mouse near the door we whacked it outside with a broom. Once it was outside the stupid kitten kept looking for it, like "Where's the mouse, Where did it go, I swear i left right here". That was one crazy Halloween. After the entire thing I said "Happy Halloween!!!!!" And to this day that supid kitten still can not seem to figure out where exactly that mouse went. This Halloween I really Did get Tricked and Treats.

Dentist Apointment

I had a dentist appointment to get two teeth pulled. Youch!!!! Before I got the four shots of that cool num-stuff, they gave me HAPPY GAS. They asked me to put up two fingers, apparently i put up three fingers. Wow, i was sure out of it. Then they asked me again to put up two fingers, apparently i put up my entire hand.

Well once he gave me the num-stuff, and it was all working. He took out my two top teeth in the back. I did not feel one thing at all, It didn't even feel like he was pulling a toot or anything.

But the ride home wasn't that fun. I had like two wadded up gauze in my mouth, so when i got home and took them out, my jaw was really sore. I can only eat soup and pop-sicles and jello. Weeeee, but it's not that fun when you see a commercial on t.v. that has a big, juicy, steak and fries, but you can't even have a little piece of goldfish.

Last night I was eating some soup, but the noodles were round and very small. And one of the holes from where the tooth had been was very deep. So when I was sipping my soup, I felt up in the hole, and there was noodle stuck in the hole. So my mom had to get the tweezers and pull the noodle out of the hole. That happened twice, except that the second one crumbled as it was coming out so it took longer to get out of the hole.

I got to stay home from school today because it hurt's really bad. But the worst part is that i have to drink this medicine every 7 hours. Uhhhhh I HATE MEDICINE!!!!!!!

Stupid cats and alarm clocks

Last night at about 3:00 a.m. My sisters kitten came down stairs and jumped on my head and was playing with my hair and woke me up. I was so mad. So i picked her up and dropped her on the floor. Then to top that off she was REARRANGING MY BATHROOM. (When i say rearranging I mean she took everything from one side of the counter and put it on the other side of the counter.)

Then at 7:00 this morning my alarm went off because i forgot to turn that off. Man i forget things a lot before i go to bed.

It was really quiet, to quiet. so I was searching the entire downstairs for that cat. I couldn't find her anywhere so I assumed that she got bored and went back up stairs. So then i had to go to the bathroom. As i was going to wash my hands i look into the sink, and what do you know there's the kitten curled up in a ball, sleeping, in my bathroom sink. Man that cat is stupid.

So I went back to sleep and didn't wake up until 10:30 a.m.
